The off-season is officially over. Director of media relations Rob Butcher and his dog Manhattan are shown here at the Cincinnati airport checking in for this afternoon’s flight to Florida.

Later this week the rest of the Reds’ baseball operations department will report to spring training at the City of Sarasota Sports Complex. Manager Dusty Baker and the coaching staff will be there Friday, while pitchers and catchers will report Saturday for physical examinations and their first workout.
